Caritas | Thursday Evening

[fortworeasons]

Of course Laszlo vaguely recognized the song that had been playing everywhere, but of course, he also recognized it as his own turn-of-the-century creation, 'Song of the Bosom,' which was mostly an ode to various breasts and had zero things to do with Christmas.

But that was what he was singing to himself as he set out his sign tonight. "Hark, see the breasts, sweet, swollen breasts," and so on. You should all be glad that some people -- unlike Laszlo -- are simply too uncreative to write songs on the fly and thus there would be no additional lyrics featured in this narrative.

Specials
Regular Human Beer
*and also beer for 'disco spiders?'

Laszlo was a very forgetful vampire, but some things stuck in one's brain.

Astrid had told Troy that she'd talked to the new Thursday bartender about a special for him and he was not disappointed!

"Hey, that's me!" he declared proudly as he reached the bar. "I'm the Disco Spider! ¡ La araña discoteca!"

"Hola," Laszlo answered in kind, looking puzzled. "But you're a boy. A human boy."

Had he been sort of expecting an actual spider? Perhaps wearing platform shoes and carrying a mirrored ball? What of it if he had?

That assumption was incredibly fair, and any disappointment or confusion inspired by it would be completely understandable.

"Man, actually," Troy corrected him. "I just turned eighteen--" Nineteen, actually, but he didn't realize that, since his mom told him that everyone was ten for two years because fifth grade is hard, "--so I'm a human man now. And a Disco Spider. You can check the radio if you don't believe me."

Because if there was ever a true bastion of complete truth and irrefutable sources, it was a news broadcast written by drunken squirrels.

"A man, of course," Laszlo agreed with an indulgent, vaguely condescending nod of agreement. "The young lady who visited last week -- Astrid? -- confirmed as much, but she didn't explain that you were a spider in name only. So it's not that I disbelieve you, my dear Disco Spider, it's that I feel misled."

By Astrid? By Fandom itself? By his own assumptions because he didn't pay attention to anything? Who could say.

Give Troy a moment. A...considerable moment. He was clearly trying to figure something out here.

"Ohhhhhh," he said, nodding now as if a whole world of understanding had just been opened up before him. "I get it, you were expecting, like, an actual spider. No, man, that would be....spooky ting? This is more of a...it just sounded cool at the time kind of thing.

"It seemed to stick better," he added, "than Butt Soup."

Which now made him a little sad whenever he thought about it, because there was only one person that ever took off with and he still missed her sometimes, especially whenever he caught a faint whiff of shrimp...

"You know," he pointed out after digesting all that with no small degree of consideration, "I've found that nicknames and titles tend to stick better when they're attributed to one by others. Unless other people have designated you 'Butt Soup,' which I can readily admit I am very curious about."

Of course he was.
